This 3,600 sq ft home in Palo Alto boasts five bedrooms with four and half bathrooms and a guest house on a 12,500 sq ft lot. One of the primary design statements within the space is a bespoke spiral staircase leading from the second floor to the main living space. The staircase enhances the flow and connection of each room in the home, allowing for an open floor plan.
Challenged by the narrow and long plot of land, Maydan Architects originally designed the home to feel private and secluded despite the neighbouring houses being close to the property line. Maydan added a floor-to-ceiling frosted glass wall behind the stairs so light can come in, while simultaneously providing privacy.
The large windows in the home allow light to flood the space and make it feel warm and inviting, despite the cool colour palette. Each room is outfitted with stunning furniture, carefully selected to emphasise the architecture of the home.
The furniture pieces were by high end brand names such as Fendi Casa, and Bugatti. Each piece was positioned to give an ultra-luxurious and welcoming feel. Bold accessories decorate the space to add depth and visual interest.
